    Abstract

    Severe pulmonary vascular disease was found during pregnancy in a 31 year old woman with a large ventricular septal defect. Three months after delivery peripartum cardiomyopathy with severe biventricular failure developed. This was a chance association. Recovery of ventricular function was slow but was complete two years later. There was no advance in the pulmonary vascular disease.
